Cascade staff's wish list for the holiday season

At the top of our wish list is the new Cascade Season Pass!

We are excited to announce the Cascade Season Pass that includes a Cascade jersey, a one-year membership and entry into 10 of our major rides, including STP and RSVP. Starting at $595.

Be Warm with Wool

In the middle of winter, there is no better friend to the everyday rider than wool. Seriously, anything made out of wool is a great gift. In particular, Kelli is in love with her Toast Tea Threads wool hat by Ricky Rodriguez because the hat is reversible, has ear flaps, a brim and fits under a helmet. Ricky will make custom orders or you can purchase ready-made hats on Etsy. Baby Caps, wool-lined toe covers and more are also available. 

Light Up

Visibility is vital to safe biking, especially in winter. Elizabeth lights up the darkest parts of the Burke-Gilman with her new Torch Helmet that has integrated LED lights - white on the front and red on the back.
Robin loves her stylish Vesperine Reflective Vest that folds up to fit in any bag. She would add the newest design, featuring sequins, to her wish list this year. 

Do your gift shopping by bike

Riding your bike to neighborhood shops is a delightful way to spend the day. Save money on parking and use it for some hot cocoa! Let store owners know you arrive by bike, because bikes mean business. Plus you can use your Bicycle Benefits Sticker at great places like Theo Chocolate to pick up Robbie’s wish list item, Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups. 

Give the Gift of Adventure

Join us for RAW: Roll On, Columbia, where you will enjoy a fully supported tour on this iconic route from Ilwaco to Walla Walla. Aug. 2-8, 2015 

Warm Hands

Don’t let your loved one's fingers freeze! Great gloves are a key to happiness during winter commutes. Bri loves her Showers Pass Women’s Crosspoint hard shell gloves. 
Robin would pick bar mitts to block the wind and layer with gloves for super cold days. 

Local Treasures

We are lucky in the Pacific Northwest to have many incredible local companies. One of our favorite companies is Swift Industries, who manufactures custom and readymade bike bags and accessories. Stephanie loves Swift’s cozy flannel snap scarf that would be perfect for chilly rides by the shores of Lake Washington. Swift Industries recently expanded the hours of their retail shop in Ballard.  

Stay Stylish

Brock would recommend Philosophy Pannier made in Portland for the polished professional.
